Mark Cannizzaro Don’t count out a Scottie Scheffler US Open comeback for career grand slam By Mark Cannizzaro Published June 20, 2026, 11:47 p.m. ET Scottie Scheffler watches his tee shot on the 17th hole during the third round of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on June 20, 2026.

If you think that’s insurmountable, you either don’t know Scheffler very well or haven’t been paying a lot of attention to golf the past three years as he’s had a stranglehold on the world No. 1 ranking in Tiger Woods-like dominant fashion.
Different from the flash of Woods, no one makes better artwork of hanging around in big golf tournaments than Scheffler.
Clark will be acutely aware of that as he waits out the better part of Sunday for his tee time to finally arrive.
